Tim Crenshaw was in an enviable
position. The Briarwood Christian offensive tackle said he had a scholarship
offer Idaho State and an offer to walk-on at Furman.

But the 6-foot-5, 285-pounder said he
might choose another option.

"I'm probably not going to be signing
anything on Wednesday," Crenshaw said. "As of right now, I'll probably just walk
on at Alabama, or at least try to. I've got an academic scholarship there.
That's kind of the way I'm leaning right now."

The Lions senior said distance to Idaho
was a factor.

"It just didn't feel right when I was
out there," he said. "It had good qualities. It just didn't feel like the right
place for me."

Crenshaw said he really enjoyed his
visit to Furman.

"I like the school," he said. "The one
thing they didn't have was my major, which is engineering. They had a thing
where you would spend years up there and transfer to another school to take
strictly engineering classes. That way you have to go at least five years just
to get the bachelor's degree."

With Alabama poised to have another top
signing class, Crenshaw knows walking on there will be a challenge.

"I know it's going
to be a tough process," he said. "I've talked to people who have walked on and
their whole deal is they (coaches) pretty much try to make you quit.

"I'm going to put my mind to it," Crenshaw added. "I've got pretty good
size and pretty decent athletic ability that I should at least be able to make
the team, help out in practice and eventually get a little bit of playing
time."
